Description
The 2026 University Showcase will celebrate the innovation, discovery, and university impact of the work we have done, the things we’ve learned, created, or mastered from the classroom, clinic, and office. The showcase will feature platform presentations (live and virtual ) and poster presentations (live at RMU) from RMU faculty, students, and staff, and our friends at Noorda.
Plan/Format
Track 1: Innovation, Practice, & Impact
This track will highlight applied, creative, and community-engaged work that may not fit neatly into a traditional research framework but represents meaningful inquiry and impact.
Track 2: Research & Discovery
This track will closely mirror our current model and include traditional faculty and student research projects including poster sessions, oral presentations, and studies grounded in established research methodologies.
Showcase proposals can help answer questions such as:
What problems are we trying to solve and how have we solved them? What is the impact on the University? Are these solutions transferable to other programs or departments? What are the outcomes and key takeaways? What will people learn?
